"Always we begin again is the work of an attorney with a busy commercial practice who searched for a truly balanced life and found the blueprint for it in a sixth-century text. After discovering St. Benedict's Rule, author John McQuiston interpreted and restated the ancient system of spiritual living, enabling today's reader to understand and make use of its remarkable insights. Although originally written by a saint for his monks, the Rule still speaks to all of us who hunger for a meaningful and creatively balanced framework for life. Since the Rule needs to be experienced, practiced, and pondered, Always we begin again includes sample meditations and a weekday schedule"--Page 4 of cover.
